When we face a radical disconnection from the natural world, we must remember we are all part of a collective consciousness. We are all like great trees; each trunk is individual, but our roots go down into the earth and interconnect us with all living organisms of the forest.
Contemplating our human existence today, we are encouraged to forge novel pathways connecting with natural and living systems. This is an invitation to engage in a real-time dialogue, fostering the creation of better futures where we discern new patterns and pose questions that transcend language, anthropocentric views, and the surrounding territory.
" As I increased my relation with the cultural diversity and interconnectedness of all living beings, I expanded the world agendas to showcase the frequent and demonstrable unsustainable practices and models we live in. My goal is to challenge our understanding over dominant paradigms centered on materialism and consumption that deprioritize well-being, connection, and environmental balance.

The the goal is to honor and protect our limited resources and ancestral stories, inspire a sense of responsibility and care for the natural world, build a solidarity network to foster education, resilience against environmental degradation, and social equity, and reevaluate our current role as stewards of this Earth." - Ana Santos
